a.k.a. I have no idea what I'm doing and its great!

General plan
Learn about ESXi and its various components
Continue working with Server 2003 and 2008 (Still have the 70-291 left to take)
Install and configure SCCM for Software Deployment and Software updates

Machines:
X6 1055T - 12 gigs - 2 150 gig raptors /shrug
A6-3650 - 8 gigs - 160gig and a 1TB

My concern between these machines is disk. Should I throw in another disk, or more, per server to spread my VM's across?
 
Alright next question.

Anyone recommend specific 1-2 port NIC's?
 
Thanks Child of Wonder.

Huzzah! Resolved my boot and ram "quirks". ESXi 5.0 is up an running from a flash drive, 8 gigs installed and ready for some VM's!!!!!
 
Lab Update:
A6 3650 OC'd to 3.4 ghz
Upped ram to 16 gigs

Currently, running 4 servers and 2 clients with ease.

Going to re-do the lab this weekend though.

1: 2008 R2 (AD/DNS/DHCP)
2: 2008 R2 (FS, SCCM Central/SUP, will also house SCCM SQL DB)
3: 2003 (SCCM Primary/SUP)
4: 2003 (SCCM SS, DP)
5: W7 32bit
6: W7 64 bit
7: XP 32 bit
8: Linux Mint
